    Hi everybody.

    Due to my tight schedule I was not able to update my T blog. Finally I have time for myself. Just to update everyone my reno was completed a few months back and I have moved in. Let me tidy up my place first and I share with you my new place. I am still buying furnitures and stuffs to dress up my home.

    More shopping in BKK. I was quite surprised they allowed me to check in a side table and a stool. No additional cost. I will definitely buy more chairs for my next BKK trip. If you like stuff by Hiroshima. You should visit www.hygge.com

    Thanks for your concern. This was swiftly rectify by the contractor. Another happy customer for BIG A.

    I can't recall but is it standard for faucet sets to come with the flexible hose? I thought the flexible hose are standard hoses. Anyway, I think the problem is not in the L copper elbow but the way the plumber installed the hose. I think the hose is twisted when he fastened it.

    DINNING TABLE CUM WORKSTATION

    I love it for the sensual minimalism. Fully extendable, from 6x to 8x sitter. Yet stable.

    SOFA

    Finally I got my own mini L shape sofa. I think is a bit over price for a non designer + locally made. (I am thinking of changing color of the 2x

    torque blue pillows covers. What do you think?)

    LIVING HALL

    Honestly we are really BAD with colour combination. Therefore to be on the super save side the only colour we have are greys. Difference shades of greys, mainly cool grey.

    We are still waiting after the other 6 dinning chairs, coffee table, bedside table to arrive.

    LAUNDRY CUM FRIDGE AREA

    Nothing special. At least the place is kept neat. We are saving the area on the right for a large laundry basket. Hopefully we can find a modern & stylish laundry basket.

    Between the dryer and washer we are planning square basket to keep and hid all the washing detergents.

    Any recommendation?

    KITCHEN FAUCET STAINLESS STEEL FLEXIBLE HOSE

    To be rectify.

    Without considering the length of the SS flexible hoses. The plumber had installed a 90 degree copper elbows resulting my SS flexible hose to bend unnaturally. According to Grohe's installation guide bending the hose is a big no no. I think in matter of time the inner rubber tube will either leak or burst and wet my cabinets. (I can't afford this to happen as I am alway out of town.) Each Flex Hose is USD38!

    Hi Kay

    Yes. All will be untiled. As for the paint we are using Nippon Paint Vinilex 5000 Low Odour.

    Grease. That's a good question. We have no idea too. Hopefully the Fujioh hood 800 MK2 does it job. According to the spec it should capture 88% of the oil fumes. (This is the only reason why we did not install the top hang cabinets.

    Hi Marcel, are you leaving the kitchen wall above the backsplash untiled? If so, what is the paint you are using for this high grease, high humidity wall?

    FLOOR COMMON CORRIDOR (DIY)

    Our first DIY. This is what we did with the FOC solid teak planks. According to wikipedia untreated teak furniture which is exposed to the sun will patina and turn a silvery, grey color.

    Due to the uneven floor we MAY need to fill up all the visible gap with wood or cement putty. (Looks UGLY right.)

    What am I going to use these solid teak plank for? Make a wild guess.

    I got these from my mother's friend at the cost of NOTHING (FOC)!
